But in using forms and widgets there are a bunch of macros that are used 
and need to be called.

That seems to me to be a more complex way of doing things than having a 
configurable system for which flavour to use... I tried it by making 
double registrations for each portal_skin and that was only half-way 
helpful...

Anyway, if this can be transparently and easily solved, I'm all for it, 
but I'm not gonna do it. ;) Not only am I slightly unclear on how your 
solution would work, I finally have Five/CMF skin integration working 
well, and I simply don't have any more time barking up the wrong tree on 
this issue, because I have spent weeks doing that already.

You'll just have to come to the sprint and implement it properly 
yourself. ;)

Well, you mostly don't need to know, and secondly, you do know. If the 
products you develop are for use with CMF, you'll gonna have to have the 
Zope2 flavour running. If not, then you'll gonna use the Zope3 flavour.

Or?
